The upcoming Gartner Identity and Access Management Summit is shaping up as an unprecedented opportunity to deepen your IAM knowledge while networking with industry leaders. From December 3-5 in the heart of Las Vegas, you’ll have the unique opportunity to attend more than 50 research-driven sessions and evaluate 75 exhibitors, along with over 1,400 IAM professionals. There’s no better time or place to gather real world solutions and network meaningfully with professional peers.

We hope you’ll drop by our session “Why & How Authorization has become Business Critical” on Wednesday, Dec 5th at 10:45 AM. We will join executives from the World Bank, EY, Dimensional and Apiture to discuss overcoming business problems and the capabilities that are needed and available in advanced, Policy Based Authorization Solutions – sharing our views on why authorization has taken a front seat in their corporate IAM environment.

Here are the speakers and sessions which we strongly recommend for evolving your IAM strategies and staying ahead of the curve:

Must See Speakers

In addition to Lori Robinson and Ant Allan– both leading research VPs at Gartner that we profiled for last year’s event, here are two additional speakers we highly recommend checking out. Both bring unmatched industry experience and cutting edge knowledge to the table.

Gregg Keizman: With over 30 years of IT experience in the private and public sectors including the U.S. federal government and World Bank, one would be hard pressed to find an IAM professional more qualified to deliver an opening keynote. Keizman is an all-around expert on access management and is uniquely positioned to offer management guidance for cloud-based apps. His talks on IAM solutions will leave you inspired and armed for the future.

Mary Ruddy: A research VP on the Gartner GTP IAM team, Ruddy will be co-presenting a keynote with Gregg on the future of IAM in 2019 and beyond, providing you with the how-to to adapt your IAM approach to ever-changing industry trends. The ideal professional to answer questions about IAM management capabilities, cloud computing, and modernizing app architecture and infrastructure, Ruddy’s voice will be an invaluable contribution to the summit.
